This is the deed on record for your property.
We pull it from the county recorder, hash its content, and watch for any new document filed against the same parcel.
The threat is accelerating.
You just watched one filing get caught on screen. Across the country, the AG and the FBI are watching this happen at a scale they couldn’t process if they tried.
These numbers are conservative — most cases go unreported until the foreclosure notice arrives. And the products that claim to fix it? The FTC has called what most title-lock services sell not insurance at all.
Up from 222 in 2024 and just 149 in 2023 — a 240% increase in two years.
Up from $173M in 2024. Deed and title schemes are the single fastest-growing category the bureau tracks.
Disproportionately affects Black homeowners, seniors, and immigrants. NY enacted new criminal statutes in 2024 and saw first convictions under them in 2025.
So if the county won’t call you and title insurance won’t catch it in time — how do we?
Ten metros, six states. The places where deed theft is already losing homeowners their houses.
We don’t do nationwide on day one. Each county is a real integration: an API, a data feed, or an enrollment in the county’s own free alert program — surfaced together in one dashboard.
Recording happens in public. Detection doesn’t have to.
The county publishes every filing. Most homeowners never read those records — that’s the gap fraudsters live in. We read them every day, score every document, and tell you before the next move gets made.
We’re not a title lock. Nothing is.
The county recorder accepts every filing a notary stamps. No product, service, or insurance can stop a fraudulent deed from being recorded. The category that says otherwise — “title lock insurance” — is not insurance at all per the FTC.
What we do: detect the filing fast, score it for fraud risk, and walk you through a real remediation flow. The rest of this page tells you exactly how. No hype, no fear-marketing.
“Title-lock products” refers to the category the FTC warned consumers about — not any one company. Different providers vary in implementation. The comparison reflects common patterns in their advertising and FTC consumer complaints.
Here’s how we catch it before the foreclosure notice arrives.
Every recorded document looks like this. We read it three different ways, in this order.
Every recorded document, daily.
We pull the NYC ACRIS recorder feed daily, scrape the Harris County Clerk (Houston) directly, and pull Philadelphia's Department of Records on a delayed cadence. For Miami, LA, Cook, and the rest of Texas (Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, Travis) we relay each county's free fraud-alert program into the same dashboard — and switch on a live feed there the moment our integration lights up.
Owner-name match, fuzzy.
Levenshtein + phonetic + LLC-pattern + deceased-name flags. We score by document type — quitclaim deeds get scrutinized hardest, routine bank-to-bank assignments get filtered. A name that looks like yours but isn't gets caught.
Suspicious? A 24-hour wizard.
Pull the certified copy. Generate the affidavit. Connect to a state-specific real-estate attorney. Build the police-report packet.

That’s what we do. Now choose how aggressively you want us to do it.
Three deeds. Three levels of protection.
We don’t charge for what the county already does free. We charge for family monitoring, portfolio coverage, and the wizard that runs when something looks wrong.
DeedShield is a monitoring & remediation service. It is not insurance, not a legal service, and not a replacement for title insurance. We detect — we do not prevent recording at the county.
Same house. Same paperwork. Now with someone watching it.
